This is a list of the hottest exoplanets so far discovered, specifically those with temperatures greater than 2,500 K (2,230 °C; 4,040 °F) for exoplanets irradiated by a nearby star and greater than 2,000 K (1,730 °C; 3,140 °F) for self-luminous exoplanets.
This is a list of hottest stars so far discovered (excluding degenerate stars), arranged by decreasing temperature. The stars with temperatures higher than 60,000 K are included. List
According to the Los Angeles Almanac, 57.2 °C (135.0 °F) was the hottest temperature historically recorded among 20 Los Angeles County weather stations. However, a nearby UCLA weather station less than three miles away recorded nothing close to this extreme claim. The Los Angeles Almanac has since stated "we offer no grounds for challenging ...
R136a1 (short for RMC 136a1) is one of the most massive and luminous stars known, at nearly 200 M ☉ and nearly 4.7 million L ☉, and is also one of the hottest, at around 46,000 K. It is a Wolf–Rayet star at the center of R136 , the central concentration of stars of the large NGC 2070 open cluster in the Tarantula Nebula (30 Doradus ) in ...
The currently accepted age of the universe is around 13.8 billion years. Could alternatively be PSR B1620-26 b with 11.2–12.7 Gyr. [56] Two disproven planets had been thought to orbit the star HIP 11952, [57] whose age is 12.8 ± 2.6 Gyr. [58]
A star is a massive luminous spheroid astronomical object made of plasma that is held together by its own gravity.Stars exhibit great diversity in their properties (such as mass, volume, velocity, stage in stellar evolution, and distance from Earth) and some of the outliers are so disproportionate in comparison with the general population that they are considered extreme.
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System.It is a massive, nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion reactions in its core, radiating the energy from its surface mainly as visible light and infrared radiation with 10% at ultraviolet energies.
